I currently have a 5770 and I'm tempted to get another and crossfire it, partially for the extra performance and mainly as I just fancy trying it out. As 5770's seem to go for about £80 is there anything for £160 that will offer much better performance than the crossfire set up? Noise is a consideration as I find the 5770 great after having a X1900XT and I don't want to go back to something that loud.

The Q9450 is at 3.4ghz (my ram holds it back from going any higher), the motherboard in my sig has also changed to a P5Q-Pro. I use a 24" monitor so 1920x1080 if I can get decent performance at that res. I'm happy to get second hand stuff so I'd noticed a few 5850's at around £150, or I'd spend a bit more if the performance benefit was worthwhile.
How does that make sense? It's slower than an 5850 which isn't faster than a 5770 crossfire setup.
